Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the two cups of cornstarch with one cup of lotion. Stir well until the mixture begins to come together and forms a soft, crumbly texture.
2 Cups Cornstarch, 1 Cup Lotion
If the dough feels too dry, add a little bit of extra lotion, one squirt at a time, to achieve the right consistency. You want the dough to be soft and slightly pliable but not sticky.
For a fun twist, you can add a few drops of food coloring or gel food coloring to the mixture. Use a spoon or your hands to knead the color into the dough until it's evenly distributed. You can make several different colors of cloud dough for even more sensory fun.
This dough has a different texture compared to regular playdough. It’s much softer yet feels drier to the touch and may crumble slightly during play, which is completely normal.
